Hurricane Milton may be October surprise in presidential battle

The intensification of Hurricane Milton into a Category 5 storm headed straight for Florida will pose a serious test for the Biden-Harris administration, which has already been stretched by the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.

President Biden and Vice President Harris, who have already visited parts of the country hit by Helene, have worked hard to stay on top of the federal recovery effort, but their leadership skills will be tested in new ways when Milton, which is generating wind speeds of 175 mph, slams into Florida.
